Coffee Holding Q3 profit hits $2.0M on 25% margin
JVA delivered a strong profit rebound and deleveraging in fiscal Q3 2026, but continues to remediate material weaknesses in internal controls.
COFFEE HOLDING CO., INC. (JVA) reported sharply improved profitability for the quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2026, despite lower quarterly sales. Quarterly net sales were $21.7 million, down 9.3% year over year, but net income swung to $1.99 million (basic and diluted EPS $0.35) from a loss of $1.21 million, driven by a higher gross margin and favorable hedging and tariff items.
For the nine months, net sales rose slightly to $69.4 million, while net income increased to $3.90 million (EPS $0.68) from $0.59 million. Operating cash flow turned strongly positive at $7.80 million, enabling a reduction of the line of credit balance from $6.05 million to $2.15 million at July 31, 2026, and full repayment shortly thereafter. Working capital improved to $25.5 million, and stockholders’ equity rose to $31.0 million. Management, however, disclosed ongoing material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to system access controls and year-end vendor accruals, with remediation efforts underway.
Positive
- Profitability improved significantly: nine-month net income rose to $3.9 million (EPS $0.68) from $0.6 million (EPS $0.10), with Q3 swinging from a $1.2 million loss to $2.0 million profit.
- Margins expanded: Q3 2026 gross margin was 25.0% versus 9.4% a year earlier, aided by favorable inventory, tariff refunds, and hedging gains.
- Stronger cash generation: operating activities provided $7.8 million of cash in the first nine months of 2026, compared with $5.4 million used in the prior-year period.
- Deleveraging: line of credit borrowings fell from $6.05 million to $2.15 million by July 31, 2026 and were fully repaid by August 31, 2026.
- Solid liquidity: working capital increased to $25.5 million and the company reported a net working capital surplus and compliance with all loan covenants.
Negative
- Material weaknesses in internal control persist, including inadequate system access controls and insufficient controls over year-end vendor accruals.
- Quarterly revenue declined: Q3 2026 net sales fell 9.3% year over year to $21.7 million, reflecting lower green coffee prices and related price reductions.
- Interest expense remains a drag, totaling $143,180 for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, despite reduced borrowings.
Filing Explained
Share counts were unchanged, but 921,000 exercisable options remain a potential future source of dilution.
The Form 10-Q reports quarterly information through
The options were excluded from diluted earnings per share as antidilutive, so they represent potential additional shares—not current dilution—if exercised.
A subsequent event dated
Management also revised prior-year expense classifications, with no effect on operating income, net income, earnings per share, assets, liabilities, equity, or cash flows. The disclosed material weaknesses remain unresolved until remediation is fully implemented and the controls are shown to operate effectively.

COFFEE HOLDING CO., INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (the “Company”) conducts wholesale coffee operations, including manufacturing, roasting, packaging, marketing and distributing roasted and blended coffees for private labeled accounts and its own brands, and it sells green coffee. The Company also manufactures and sells coffee roasters. The Company’s core product, coffee, can be summarized and divided into three product categories (“product lines”) as follows:
Wholesale Green Coffee: unroasted raw beans imported from around the world and sold to large and small roasters and coffee shop operators;
Private Label Coffee: coffee roasted, blended, packaged and sold under the specifications and names of others, including supermarkets that want to have their own brand name on coffee to compete with national brands; and
Branded Coffee: coffee roasted and blended to the Company’s own specifications and packaged and sold under the Company’s eight proprietary and licensed brand names in different segments of the market.
The Company’s private label and branded coffee sales are primarily to customers that are located throughout the United States with limited sales in Canada and certain countries in Asia. Such customers include supermarkets, wholesalers, and individually-owned and multi-unit retailers. The Company’s unprocessed green coffee, which includes over 90 specialty coffee offerings, is sold primarily to specialty gourmet roasters and to coffee shop operators in the United States with limited sales in Australia and Canada.
The Company’s wholesale green, private label, and branded coffee product categories generate revenues and cost of sales individually but incur selling, general and administrative expenses in the aggregate. There are no individual product managers and discrete financial information is not available for any of the product lines. The Company’s product portfolio is used in one business and it operates and competes in one business activity and economic environment. In addition, the three product lines share customers, manufacturing resources, sales channels, and marketing support. Thus, the Company considers the three product lines to be one single reporting segment.
Liquidity
The
Company’s line of credit will become due December 28, 2026. The agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain
financial covenants computed on a quarterly and annual basis. As of July 31, 2026, the Company is in compliance with those financial
covenants. The Company is in a net income position for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026, of $
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s fiscal year ends on October 31 of each calendar year. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as its annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The October 31, 2025 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data in this document was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2025 and notes thereto included in the Company’s fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 28, 2026 (the “2025 Annual Report”). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.
| 7 |
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco, LLC (“SONO”), Comfort Foods, Inc., and Second Empire, LLC (“Second Empire”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and comply with SEC reporting requirements.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the five-step model as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The following table presents revenues by product line for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025:

| Totals | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Revenues | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Equity Investments
The Company accounts for its investment in equity securities in accordance with ASC 321, Investments—Equity Securities. The investment represents a noncontrolling ownership interest in a privately held company and does not provide the Company with the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee.
Because the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value, it is accounted for using the measurement alternative, under which the investment is recorded at cost, less impairment, if any, and adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Company evaluates the investment for impairment or observable price changes each reporting period. Any impairment losses or adjustments resulting from observable price changes are recognized in earnings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance in ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on November 1, 2025. The guidance was adopted prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
| 8 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted
The Company recently evaluated newly issued accounting pronouncements that are not yet adopted, notably ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2023-06. ASU 2024-03, effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, requires the tabular disaggregation of specific income statement expenses into natural categories, and the Company is currently assessing its impact on future disclosures. Concurrently, ASU 2023-06 aligns U.S. GAAP with existing SEC disclosure requirements using contingent effective dates; because the Company already complies with the underlying SEC regulations, this update is primarily an administrative alignment and is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
NOTE 3 – REVISION OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended April 30, 2026, management identified a classification error related to certain costs that should have been presented within Cost of sales but were previously classified within Selling and administrative expenses. Management determined that presentation of these costs within Cost of sales better reflects the nature of the underlying expenses.
Accordingly,
the Company revised the presentation of certain costs previously reported in Selling and administrative expenses and reclassified such
amounts to Cost of sales. The revision increased Cost of sales and decreased Selling and administrative expenses by approximately $
The following tables summarize the effect of the revision on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations:

The
Company has accounted for the Second Empire Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby
the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired identifiable net assets purchased in the Second Empire Acquisition based on assessments
of their respective fair values. The assets purchased consisted of equipment, accounts receivable and inventories. The Company has determined
that no portion of the purchase price is allocated to intangible assets as there were no acquired intangibles that are considered identifiable
under ASC 805. Based on a fair value assessment, all value has been attributed to tangible assets. Second Empire will operate as a

NOTE 6 - COMMODITIES HELD BY BROKER
The Company has used, and intends to continue to use in a limited capacity, short term coffee futures and options contracts primarily for the purpose of partially hedging and minimizing the effects of changing green coffee prices and to reduce cost of sales.
The commodities held by broker represent the market value of the Company’s trading account, which consists of options and futures contracts for coffee held with a brokerage firm. The Company uses options and futures contracts, which are not designated or qualifying as hedging instruments, to partially hedge the effects of fluctuations in the price of green coffee beans. Options and futures contracts are Level 1 investments recognized at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements with current recognition of gains and losses on such positions. The Company’s accounting for options and futures contracts may impact earnings volatility in any particular period. The Company records all open contract positions on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value in the due from and due to broker line items and typically do not offset these assets and liabilities.
The Company classifies its options and future contracts as trading securities and accordingly, realized and unrealized holding gains and losses are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of cost of sales.
The Company recorded realized and unrealized gains and losses respectively, on these contracts as follows:

The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the OBBBA on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 9 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company presents “basic” and “diluted” earnings per common share pursuant to the provisions included in ASC Topic 260, “Earnings (loss) Per Share,” and certain other financial accounting pronouncements. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of potential sources of dilution.
The
weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share were

The coffee segment derives revenue from the sale of wholesale green coffee, private label coffee and branded coffee. Revenue for these product lines is recognized upon shipment to the customer. The CODM assesses performance for the coffee segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating income that also is reported on statement of operations as consolidated income from operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews the Trading Profit and Operating Income table below:

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate” and similar expressions (or the negative of such expressions). Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this quarterly report and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. In addition, we undertake no responsibility to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances, that occur after the date of this quarterly report.
Overview
We are an integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer primarily in the United States and one of the few coffee companies that offers a broad array of coffee products across the entire spectrum of consumer tastes, preferences and price points. As a result, we believe that we are well-positioned to increase our profitability and endure potential coffee price volatility throughout varying cycles of the coffee market and economic conditions.
Our operations have primarily focused on the following areas of the coffee industry:
| ● | the sale of wholesale specialty green coffee; | |
| ● | the roasting, blending, packaging and sale of private label coffee; | |
| ● | the roasting, blending, packaging and sale of our eight brands of coffee; and | |
| ● | sales of our tabletop coffee roasting equipment. |
Our operating results are affected by a number of factors including:
| ● | the level of marketing and pricing competition from existing or new competitors in the coffee industry; | |
| ● | our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers; | |
| ● | our hedging policy; | |
| ● | fluctuations in purchase prices and supply of green coffee and in the selling prices of our products; and | |
| ● | our ability to manage inventory and fulfillment operations and maintain gross margins. |
| 16 |
Our net sales are driven primarily by the success of our sales and marketing efforts and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers. For this reason, we have made, and will continue to evaluate, strategic decisions to invest in measures that are expected to increase net sales. These transactions include our acquisition of Premier Roasters, LLC, including equipment and a roasting facility in La Junta, Colorado, the addition of a west coast sales manager to increase sales of our private label and branded coffees to new customers and the transaction with OPTCO. On June 29, 2016, we purchased substantially all the assets, including equipment, inventory, customer lists and relationships of Coffee Kinetics, LLC., a Washington limited liability company. On February 24, 2017, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Comfort Foods, Inc. (“CFI”) , a Massachusetts based medium sized coffee roaster, manufacturing both branded and private label coffee for retail and foodservice customers. On November 6, 2024, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Empire Coffee Company, a New York-based long-running private-label roaster .
Our net sales are affected by the price of green coffee. We purchase our green coffee from dealers located primarily within the United States. The dealers supply us with coffee beans from many countries, including Colombia, Mexico, Kenya, Indonesia, Brazil and Uganda. The supply and price of coffee beans are subject to volatility and are influenced by numerous factors which are beyond our control. For example, in Brazil, which produces approximately 40% of the world’s green coffee, the coffee crops are historically susceptible to frost in June and July and drought in September, October and November. However, because we purchase coffee from a number of countries and are able to freely substitute one country’s coffee for another in our products, price fluctuations in one country generally have not had a material impact on the price we pay for coffee. Accordingly, price fluctuations in one country generally have not had a material effect on our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. Historically, because we generally have been able to pass green coffee price increases through to customers, increased prices of green coffee generally result in increased net sales, irrespective of sales volume.
The supply and price of coffee beans are subject to volatility and are influenced by numerous factors which are beyond our control. Historically, we have used, and intend to continue to use in a limited capacity, short-term coffee futures and options contracts primarily for the purpose of partially hedging the effects of changing green coffee prices, as further explained in Note 6 of the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report. In addition, we acquired, and expect to continue to acquire, future contracts with longer terms, generally three to four months, primarily for the purpose of guaranteeing an adequate supply of green coffee. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on options and futures contracts are reflected in our cost of sales. Gains on options and futures contracts reduce our cost of sales and losses on options and futures contracts increase our cost of sales. The use of these derivative financial instruments has generally enabled us to mitigate the effect of changing prices. We believe that, in normal economic times, our hedging policies remain a vital element to our business model not only in controlling our cost of sales, but also giving us the flexibility to obtain the inventory necessary to continue to grow our sales while trying to minimize margin compression during a time of historically high coffee prices. However, no strategy can entirely eliminate pricing risks and we generally remain exposed to losses on futures contracts when prices decline significantly in a short period of time, and we would generally remain exposed to supply risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to any of our futures contracts. Although we have had net gains on options and futures contracts in the past, we have incurred significant losses on options and futures contracts during some recent reporting periods. In these cases, our cost of sales has increased, resulting in a decrease in our profitability or increase our losses. Such losses have and could in the future, materially increase our cost of sales and materially decrease our profitability and adversely affect our stock price. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K “Part I. Item 1A – Risk Factors - If our hedging policy is not effective, we may not be able to control our coffee costs, we may be forced to pay greater than market value for green coffee and our profitability may be reduced.” Failure to properly design and implement an effective hedging strategy may materially adversely affect our business and operating results. If the hedges that we enter do not adequately offset the risks of coffee bean price volatility or our hedges result in losses, our cost of sales may increase, resulting in a decrease in profitability or increased losses. As previously announced, as a result of the volatile nature of the commodities markets, we have and are continuing to scale back our use of hedging and short-term trading of coffee futures and options contracts, and intend to continue to use these practices in a limited capacity going forward.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026. Critical accounting policies and the significant estimates in accordance with such policies are discussed with our Audit Committee. Those policies are discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, each in our 2025 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended July 31, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended July 31, 2025
Net Sales. Net sales totaled $21,686,262 for the three months ended July 31, 2026, a decrease of $2,224,252, or 9.3%, from $23,910,514 for the three months ended July 31, 2025. The decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to the sustained decline in green coffee prices that began in late January and continued throughout most of the quarter. In response to these market conditions, the Company reduced prices and continued promotional activity for its wholesale roasted coffee customers. In addition, the Company charged lower prices to its wholesale green coffee customers due to the decline in prevailing coffee market prices during the quarter.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2026, was $16,262,131, or 75.0% of net sales, as compared to $21,655,486, or 90.6% of net sales, for the three ended July 31, 2025. Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of green coffee and packaging materials and realized and unrealized gains or losses on hedging activity. While cost of sales decreased due to lower sales volume, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales also decreased, primarily due to a favorable inventory position acquired during the first half of the fiscal year when coffee prices decline significantly, tariff refunds recognized during the current period, and a net gain on trading activity during the current period compared to a net loss on trading activity in the comparative period.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2026, was $5,424,131, an increase of $3,169,103 from $2,255,028 for the three months ended July 31, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 25.0% for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to 9.4% for the three months ended July 31, 2025. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to a favorable inventory position, tariff refunds, and a net gain on trading activity during the current period, as discussed above.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses decreased by $250,378 to $3,099,801 for the three months ended July 31, 2026, from $3,350,179 for the three months ended July 31, 2025. Selling and administrative expenses decreased from $3,166,764 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, to $2,899,193 for the three months ended July 31, 2026. Operating expenses decreased slightly compared to the prior-year period but remained generally consistent with historical levels.
Other Expense. Other expense for the three months ended July 31, 2026 was $37,809, a decrease of $54,869 from other expense of $92,678 for the three months ended July 31, 2025. The decrease in expense was primarily attributable to lower interest expense related to decreased borrowings outstanding under the Company’s line of credit during the current periods.
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes. We had income of $2,286,521 before income taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to loss of $1,187,829 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, resulting in a net change of $3,474,350 for the three months ended July 31, 2026. The increase was primarily attributable to the market conditions described above.
Income Taxes. Our expense for income taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2026 totaled $293,083, compared to an expense of $17,584 for the three months ended July 31, 2025. The change was attributable to the difference in the income for the three months ended July 31, 2026 versus the three months ended July 31, 2025.
Net Income (Loss). We had net income of $1,993,438 or $0.35 per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to net loss of $1,205,413, or $0.21 per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended July 31, 2025. The change in net income was due to our results of operations as described above.
| 18 |
Nine Months Ended July 31, 2026 Compared to the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2025
Net Sales. Net sales totaled $69,378,258 for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, an increase of $842,398, from $68,535,860 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. The slight increase in net sales was driven by higher sales to legacy customers and incremental sales to new customers.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, was $54,342,122, or 78.3% of net sales, as compared to $57,446,245, or 83.8% of net sales, for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. Cost of sales decreased, and cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased, primarily due to a favorable inventory position and tariff refunds received during the current period, compared to tariff costs incurred during the prior-year period.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, was $15,036,136, an increase of $3,946,521 from $11,089,615 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 21.7% for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, compared to 16.0% for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. The change in gross profit was due to our results of cost of sales as described above.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $287,449 to $9,992,569 for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, from $9,705,120 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. Selling and administrative expenses increased from $9,067,134 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, to $9,382,355 for the nine months ended July 31, 2026. Operating expenses remained relatively consistent compared to the prior-year period.
Other Income (Expense). Other expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 was $143,159, an increase of $1,311 from other expense of $141,848 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. The slight increase in expense was primarily attributable to higher interest expense related to increased borrowings outstanding under the Company’s line of credit during the current periods.
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes. We had income of $4,900,408 before income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, compared to income of $1,242,647 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, resulting in a net change of $3,657,761 for the nine months ended July 31, 2026. The change was due to the conditions described above.
Income Taxes. Our expense for income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 totaled $996,161, compared to an expense of $650,749 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. The change was attributable to the difference in the income for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 versus the nine months ended July 31, 2025.
Net Income. We had net income of $3,904,247 or $0.68 per share basic and diluted, for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, compared to net income of $591,898, or $0.10 per share basic and diluted, for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. The change in net income (loss) was due to our results of operations as described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2026, we had working capital of $25,536,749, which represented a $2,903,457 increase from our working capital of $22,633,292 at October 31, 2025. Our working capital increased primarily due to paydown of our outstanding line of credit during the period.
On April 25, 2017, we and OPTCO (together with us, collectively referred to herein as the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”) and Amended and Restated Loan Facility (the “A&R Loan Facility”) with Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”), which was later acquired by Webster Financial Corp. (“Webster”), which consolidated (i) the financing agreement between us and Sterling, dated February 17, 2009, as modified, (the “Company Financing Agreement”) and (ii) the financing agreement between us, as guarantor, OPTCO and Sterling, dated March 10, 2015 (the “OPTCO Financing Agreement”), amongst other things.
| 19 |
On June 27, 2024, we reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement with Webster which (i) provided for a new loan maturity date of June 29, 2025, (ii) provided that the applicable margin requirement for any revolving loan outstanding under the A&R Loan Agreement be 2.25%, (iii) provided that the maximum facility amount shall be $10,000,000 and (iv) adjusted certain definitions and terms related to the borrowing base and leverage ratios applicable to the A&R Loan Agreement.
On April 17, 2025, the Borrowers entered into the Eleventh Loan Modification Agreement with Webster which (i) amended the A&R Loan Agreement to provide for a new loan maturity date of June 28, 2026 and (ii) provided limited consent for the Company to declare dividends to shareholders for its fiscal year ending October 31, 2025.
On March 4, 2026, the Borrowers entered into a Twelfth Loan Modification Agreement with Webster, which amended the A&R Loan Agreement to extend the maturity date to December 28, 2026. All other terms of the Loan Agreement remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
Each of the A&R Loan Facility and A&R Loan Agreement contains covenants, subject to certain exceptions, that place annual restrictions on the Borrowers’ operations, including covenants relating to debt restrictions, capital expenditures, indebtedness, minimum deposit restrictions, tangible net worth, net profit, leverage, employee loan restrictions, dividend and repurchase restrictions (common stock and preferred stock), and restrictions on intercompany transactions. The outstanding balance on the Company’s line of credit was $2,150,000 and $6,050,000 as of July 31, 2026, and October 31, 2025, respectively.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2026, our operating activities provided net cash of $7,795,367, as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2025, when operating activities used net cash of $5,396,716, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to decreases in accounts receivable and inventory, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2026, our investing activities used net cash of $1,213,538, as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2025, when net cash used in investing activities was $1,254,535. Investing activities during the current period primarily consisted of the purchase of an investment and capital expenditures, while investing activities during the prior-year period primarily consisted of acquisition-related payments and capital expenditures.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2026, our financing activities had net cash used of $4,367,813, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $6,250,000, for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to repayments on the Company’s line of credit and dividend payments, during the current period, compared to net borrowings under the line of credit during the prior-year period.
We expect to fund our operations, including paying our liabilities, funding capital expenditures and making required payments on our indebtedness, through at least the next twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, with cash provided by operating activities and the use of our credit facility. In addition, an increase in eligible accounts receivable and inventory would permit us to make additional borrowings under our line of credit.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, which includes our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Material Weakness Over Financial Reporting
We determined that there were inappropriate system access controls over the financial reporting system. These controls were not designed to prevent or detect unauthorized changes to source information or implement an appropriate level of segregation of duties. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
We also concluded that we lacked adequate controls with respect to recording year end accruals for vendor liabilities. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
Notwithstanding such material weaknesses, we believe the financial information presented herein is materially correct and fairly presents the financial position and operating results for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026 in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses
As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our 2025 Annual Report, to remediate the material weaknesses identified above, we are initiating controls and procedures in order to:
| ● | Enhance system access controls and segregation of duties through role-based access restrictions and periodic user access reviews. | |
| ● | Strengthen year-end financial close and review procedures, including formalized controls over vendor accruals. |
The material weaknesses identified above will not be considered remediated until our remediation efforts have been fully implemented and we have concluded that these controls are operating effectively.
Management does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the changes intended to remediate the material weaknesses as discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
